ASUBTEKRANEAN WoNDER.-A dis
patch from Anderson, w. Va, says {:
. While railroad laborers were cXca-
waiting rock about four miles east of
this place the explosion of q charge
of powder revealed am opening into a
cavern of yet unknown extent. Du-
ring the afternoon it was explored for
upwards of mile, and wonders rival
ing in extent and grandeur those OF
the celebrated Luray Cavern were
found. Half mile under ground a
stream of clear running water was
discovered, which, for purity and
swectcss, is uncqualed, by any of the
mountain springs, StaEactites of
every conceivable shape and size
were found scattered through the va
rious chambers, and the explores
loosened some beautiful specimens
and carried them to a room near the
entrance. The galleries and apart
ments all have smooth stone floors,
and the former range from seven to
fifteen feet wide by as many high,
while many chambers are thirty to
fifty feet in width by sevent-five or a
hundred long, and are forty or fifty
feet to the vaultcd roof. No evidence
of former visitation by human be-
ings, or even animals, have so far
been detected.

A QUEER RACE.
The Driver Crossed the Line First and
Claimed the Heat.

Buxton road in Saco, is favored place to
speed trotters, and Saturday all the noted
flyers were out The crowd was unusually
large ON account of race for a purse be-
tween two well known racers. one, a PAGER.
having record of 2.22, owned by Tese
Locke, and the other fine trotter owned by
Landlord True of the Saeo House. Mr.
True was not anxious to put his horse into a
race, but the friends of the PAGER insisted on
a trial, and offered to put up. Finally Mr..
True said he would stake $50 that he could
win. This sum Locke refused to stake but
offered to make a race for smaller purse,
which was accepted In order to quiet the
friends of the PAGER Mr.. Samuel Chase and
Mr.. Weymouth were selected as Judges. The
horses got good send off for the first heat
and for short time kept neck and neck,
when the PAGER broke and acted badly, when
Willis r., Landlord True's horse, went to
the front and Won the heat easily. The sec
ond round was repetition of the first The
race was best three in five heats, and when
the horses came up for another trial, Locke's
driver was determined to win. They started
off well, but the PAGER broke again, Willis r.
going to the front rapidly, when his driver
hauled him up, so that the PAGER might close
up the gap. 1t was near the finish before he
caught up, and when within about a rod
from the finish the PAGER was thrown down
and his driver sent flying over the line The
judges awarded the purse to Willis R., but
Locke claimed the heat on the ground that
the driver of his horse crossed the line first,
Notwithstanding the horse being on the other
side. The second race was between the
judges horses, the Chase horse winning

Society OF Christian Endeavor.

The Lowell Courier says: Lowell holds
a very important position in regard to the
work of Christian Endeayor. Rev. c. A.
Dickinson of the Kirk street church was in
timately associated with Rev. f. f. Clark in
giving the movement its first impetus, and
he has continuously since been among the
foremost engaged in its advancement. Rev.
S. w. Adriance of the Highland Congrega-
tional church, who was settled at Portland
at the time of the commencement of this
work, has been actively connected with it.
He was the first general secretary appointed
after the legal organization of the central
body. Mr.. George M. Ward, also Of Kirk
street church, succeeded Mr.. Adriance
little more than year ago. Thus Kirk
street church. in which was organized the
first Christian Endeavor society in Lowell,
holds peculiarly important place with refer
ence to the work. Rev. f. E. Clark is now
located at South Boston, and now the Chris
tian Endeavor home is eastern Massachusetts
instead OF in Maine. Secretary Ward will,
trip in the interest of the Christian EndeavOr
movement. He will irstgo to Baltimore and
Washington. and thence through various
Western States TO Iowa, and win be absent
about six weeks.
Within short time Messrs. Dickinson,
Ward and Clark, with few others, pur-
chased the Golden Rule. w. II. III. Murray's

a Manager in Trouble

AS Philip n. Branson, one of the members
OF the Stetson Opera Company, left the hall
after the matinee performance Saturday. he
missed his pocket-book, containing SS5. He
seached the dressing room, but without sue
cess Convinced that it had been stolen, he
entered a complaint at the police station.
Suspicion was directed against William HI.
Conley, the stage manager, who was the on
ly person who could have been in the dress
ing room alone. Deputy Crowell and officer
Massure visited Conley at his room in the
United States Hotel. Conley denied all
knowledge of the money, and submitted to
search with great composure Fifteen dol
lars were found on his person, but on search
Ing his trunk the missing pocket-book was
found, with sos in it. Conley then changed
his story, and insisted that he had found the
money. He was taken to the station and
kept there until midnight, and then taken to
the depot in charge of an officer. and sent
out of the State As the opera troupe is
billed next week in Montreal, Mr.. Branson
could not stop over to prosecute him.
